Definitions
- the present invention relates to cartonboard-based packaging and blanks for the same.
- the invention also relates to methods of forming packaging from packaging blanks and filled packaging.
- flow-wrap packaging which consists of a flexible container comprising front and back panels, side panels, and sealed at either end, normally with crimping or embossing to provide patterned sealing portions.
- this type of flow-wrap packaging is manufactured by horizontal or vertical form, fill and seal processes.
- horizontal fill, form and seal processes flexible packaging film is run through machinery which folds the material around a product and then clamps and seals the ends of the folded material followed by cutting, to provide a sealed packaging.
- Such packaging can be run through appropriate machinery relatively rapidly, in order to produce many filled packages per minute.
- cartonboard-based packaging which are formed from cartonboard blanks, and folded to provide a packaging container which may then be sealed by appropriate means.
- cartonboard cardboard packaging include standard cartonboard boxes, shelf-ready packaging and the like for example Documents FR758928A and WO0230762A1 illustrate cardboard containers having a flat base and side panels with gabled top ends.
- a packaging comprising opposing and spaced apart front and back panels separated by side panels extending therebetween, wherein a marginal sealing region of each end of the front and back panels is sealed together and wherein at least a portion of an edge of both ends of the side panels is not connected to the marginal sealed regions of the front and back panels, wherein the panels are formed substantially from cartonboard, and wherein both end regions of the side panels comprise gabled end regions.
- At least one end of at least one side panel or both side panels comprises at least one cut-out region or aperture, the edge or edges of which are not connected to the marginal sealed regions of the front and back panels.
- At least one end of at least one side panel or both side panels comprises a plurality of cut-out regions or apertures, the edge or edges of which are not connected to the marginal sealed regions of the front and back panels.
- each of the panels consists essentially of cartonboard, but may include minor amounts of other materials such as a laminated film on one or both sides thereof, printed material or the like, for example.
- the marginal regions of the front and back panels may be sealed by way of a reclosable seal or a peelable seal.
- the seal may be formed by way of a peelable adhesive, which may be re-sealable adhesive, such as a heat-sensitive adhesive, a cold seal adhesive, or the like, for example.
- the seal may be formed from a weld, such as a peelable weld.
- the marginal regions of the front and back panels may be sealed by means of a mechanical seal such as a zip lock, finger press sealing strip, grip seal of the like, for example.
- a re-sealing tab may be provided for securing the marginal regions together after initial opening.
- the tab may have an adhesive on at least one face by means of which the tab is secured to the outside of the marginal portions or front or back panel to couple and secure the portions together.
- the sealed marginal portions may be crimped or embossed along at least a portion thereof and in some embodiments along substantially the whole of the marginal portions. Crimping or embossing the sealed marginal portions, in addition to the configuration of the overall structure of the packaging enables the cartonboard packaging to look identical or substantially identical to equivalent polymeric flow-wrap packaging formed by conventional horizontal or vertical fill, form and seal processes.
- the side panels may comprise substantially planar panels.
- the side panels may comprise a crease or fold-line extending therealong. By providing side panels comprising fold lines extending therealong, this may enable the packaging to be substantially flattened before filling with a product, during storage and transport, or to gradually flatten after products are removed therefrom.
- the gabled end regions of the side panels may comprise a crease or fold-line.
- the gabled end region comprises a quadrilateral panel comprising a triangular or V-shaped fold-line configuration. This configuration enables the gabled end region to fold between the front and back panels, in use, in order to provide the partially sealed end regions of the packaging, whilst enabling the side panels to remain substantially perpendicular to the front and back panels.

- the sealing regions 342 and 346 of the front panel 304 are secured to the sealing regions 344, 348 of the back panel 306 and pressed together to seal the regions together.
- Hot melt adhesive or other suitable adhesive is applied to at least one of the sealing regions at each end of the packaging 300.
- the gusseted regions 362, 364, 366, 368 of the first and second side panels 308, 310 fold about the gusset fold lines 349, 349', 349", 349"', in order that the packaging 300 is fully sealed at each of the four corners formed at the edge of the sealing regions 342, 344 and sealing regions 346, 348.
- the triangular gusset assembly 370, 370', 370" and 370'" enables the folding of fold-lines 349, 349', 349", 349"' without affecting the orientation of the first and second side panels 308, 310 substantially perpendicular to the front panel 304 and rear panel 306.
- sealing regions 342, 344, 346, 348 are secured together, they may also be embossed using suitable sealing jaw patterns, in order to provide an embossed pattern as shown in Figure 5 .
- the resultant fully formed packaging 300 is as shown in Figure 5 .
- an image of an embossing pattern may be printed on the sealing regions 342, 344, 346, 348 in place of actual embossing of the regions.
- the open end of the packaging 300 can be utilised to fill the packaging 300 with products or items such as, for example, confectionery or bakery items.
- the interior of the packaging may be provided with an item, such as a bar or a tablet of chocolate, placed on the inside surface of the front panel 304 or back panel 306 before the packaging 300 is folded to the final, sealed configuration.
- the sealing portions 342, 344, 346, 348 may be provided with a thermo-sealant layer, such as a polyethylene thermo-sealant which is used as an adhesive. Any adhesive may be formed from adhesive strips directly deposited on to the sealing regions, laminated film or the like.
- first and second side panels 308, 310 may be provided with a gusset fold-line along the entire length thereof, so that the entirety of the first 308 and or second 310 side panels can be folded in order to enable the packaging to fold relatively flat before or during use. Any gusset fold-line extending along the entirety of the first and second side panels 308, 310 may also be used to provide non-planar shape to the first and second side panels 308, 310.
- some of the components may be connected to rather than integral with the front panel 304 and back panel 306, and maybe adhered or secured via suitable adhesive means.
- end sealing regions 342, 344, 346, 348, combined with gusset portions 362, 364, 366, 368 of the side panels 308, 310, or end regions 22, 24, 26, 28 of the front and rear panels 4, 6 and marginal sealing regions 42, 44, 46, 48, combined with end portions 60, 62, 64, 66 of the side panels 8, 10 enables a cartonboard packaging to be manufactured and constructed which can mimic the shape and orientation of a flexible flow-wrap packaging manufactured by standard horizontal or vertical form, fill and seal processes.
- peripheral fin portions 315, 319, 323, 325 extending upwardly from along the longitudinal edges of the front panel 304 and rear panel 306 as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 enable the cartonboard packaging 300 of the invention to appear to be manufactured using flexible flow-wrap technologies, whilst maintaining stability and rigidity in order that the packaging 300 of the invention can be stood securely along its first and second side panels 308, 310.
- packaging 100, 300 maybe decorated in any suitable manner with branding and artwork, which will enable masking the cartonboard appearance, further helping to give the packaging the impression of being produced in a flow-wrap process.
